Group A - Malaysia, Australia, Nigeria, Seychelles, Isle of Man Group B - Singapore, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Jamaica, Northern Ireland Group C - England, Canada, Mauritius, Uganda, Falkland Islands Group D - India, Scotland, Wales, Barbados, Kenya Top 2 from each group proceed to the QF http://www.bwfbadminton.org/file_download.aspx?id=23819
Canada will definately proceed to the QF stage as #2 in their group facing a tough English squad unless England decides to pull out from India as they have done once or twice already.
Lol, malaysia vs Isle of man, and Seychelles, maybe there is am opportunity for a 21-0 or something close to that, do Seychelles even play badminton ? I know the isle of man do. No need for LCW in the group stages, Hafiz should easily be suffice. Scotland should progress as well, probably in 2nd, behind india, but there will be a tough match against Wales. Btw, well done aZn for bearing me in Paw KD deserved winner.
No pull out this time. ENG will be going so Canada will finish 2nd. Pick your poison in the QF–MAS, IND or SIN

I was planning to watch team matches. Given the draw I will wait till the individual events start. Only in quarters or semis can we expect some good games in team event. So now you know, how tough!!
Based on the draw, it should be no problem for Mas to reach the final at least and win the gold medal
